Mother's Day is the perfect time to treat mums everywhere and underline just how much they mean to us all and thank them for everything they do throughout the year. One of the best ways to display this appreciation is on a short break where mums can put their feet up and enjoy a change of scenery.
There's no better location for this special treat than a UK seaside resort, which can offer something special for the whole family outside the hustle and bustle of the summer holiday season. Seaside towns and coastal villages have a unique charm and provide the perfect environment for a special break.
Finding the right spot and accommodation is key to make the most of any celebration and firms like Sykes Holiday Cottages offers thousands of venues throughout the UK - ranging from traditional fishermen's houses to palatial seaview apartments.
One of the best places to visit is the Welsh town of Aberdovey with its beautiful sandy beach and coastal road lined with shops, restaurants and pubs to help make mum feel even more special.
Stay at Kynaston Cottage - a perfect getaway given a traditional feel by its beamed ceilings and quirky room layouts. Not an inch of space is wasted to make this the perfect venue for a trip to the coast.
The double-fronted end of terrace dwelling is just a short stroll away from the resort's main attractions and its colourful harbour complete with independent shops, including a plethora of fashion outlets, traditional pubs and a variety of restaurants.
This welcoming and charming holiday home is the perfect base for a break of any sorts and maintains a coastal theme throughout the property with bright and cheerful decorations - blending retro styling with all home comforts.
Whatever the weather, the focal point of the property is the inviting sitting room and dining area with its exposed beams and a wonderful feature fireplace. A woodburning stove can warm up even the chilliest days and helps to create a relaxed and homely atmosphere with the property owners going that extra mile to make sure everyone feels at home whatever the weather outside.
Even a visit during the triple storm blast earlier this year could not be ruined by the adverse conditions because all that guests need is already there.
The quirky and slightly irregular shaped kitchen adds to the charm and appeal - but it's not likely to be put to much use with some incredible dining options just a short stroll away.
Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms, with lots of built-in cupboard space and lovely oak bedroom furniture and a luxury tiled shower room is situated next to the bedrooms and includes a shower enclosure with rain shower head and heated floor.
Walk down from Kynaston Cottage towards the harbour, past charming pastel-coloured cottages dating back to the 18th century. Guests will soon be at the hub of town located on the estuary of the River Dovey.
There are plenty of options for food and drink, including the cosy Britannia Coaching Inn, a favourite with locals and tourists alike.
As well as a bar and snug where visitors can be replenished by a wide variety and drinks, including real ales, good wines and a varied menu, there's also an upstairs restaurant for more serious dining. It's a dog-friendly venue so there's no need to leave the family pet at home.
Across the road, looking across the vast estuary is Coast Deli & Dining, which offers an ever-changing menu combining the best local products with a flavour of the Mediterranean for perfect holiday dining. Start the day with a traditional Welsh breakfast and return later for dinner, with a menu, including fresh fish landed by the locally-based boats.
Also worth a visit is the Dovey Inn, Seabreeze fish restaurant and the Penhelig Arms hotel.
A lead-in price for a seven-night stay at Kynaston Cottage would be £454. But it's a small price to pay to show your appreciation and celebrate with mum.
